Under a Fiery Sky

Under a Fiery Sky is a main quest in Act V of The Witcher, available to players who stayed neutral between the Order and the Scoia’tael. At the start of the chapter Zoltan meets Geralt on the Dike with grim news: fighting has engulfed Old Vizima, and Shani has set up a field hospital right in the middle of it. Zoltan wants her brought to safety.

It is a busy day even by witcher standards. Geralt escorts two nurses to the hospital, gets pulled away by reports of a striga at the tower, and then has to beat off both Scoia’tael and Order soldiers who want to finish off the wounded. Finally Shani asks to be taken to the druids at the Swamp Cemetery for medicine, which means fighting cemetaurs and garkains all the way to a breach in the western wall.
